Benrido — Contemporary Collotype

The Benrido Atelier has been producing collotype prints since 1905. Our printers embody an unbroken lineage of masterly artisanship, bringing over a century of experience to their craft. Benrido is one of only a handful of collotype studios that remains today, and is the world’s only producer of full-color photographic collotype prints. We offer photographic artists of the digital age a unique opportunity to realize their creative visions, producing collotypes from digital files in a collaborative image-making process.
